To add an extra level of protection, her dressing room was set up outdoors, allowing for fresh air instead of being cooped up in a cramped trailer.

Remaining seated, the superhero actress raised her hands in the air and joined in on the impromptu dance party.

Wonder Woman 1984 has become a major success story in the midst of the pandemic, earning the title of the highest-grossing theatrical release during these challenging times. The film made its debut in theaters on Christmas Day and raked in an impressive $16.7 million at the North American box office over the weekend. When combining the North American earnings with the international numbers, the global total for the superhero flick reached $85 million by Sunday.
Back in 2017, the first Wonder Woman film shattered records with the biggest opening by a female filmmaker and ultimately grossed $822 million worldwide. The highly-anticipated sequel, with a production cost of around $200 million, was initially projected to approach $1 billion in box office revenues before the pandemic hit. While it may fall short of that forecast, industry experts predict that Wonder Woman 1984 is on course to make around $180 million, as reported by Variety.
The figures may not be as high as the $100 million opening of the original Wonder Woman film in 2017, but it is still considered a successful box office performance. Warner Bros. has revealed plans to start working on a third Wonder Woman movie, with Gal Gadot and director Patty Jenkins set to return.
